DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Epee, moderate, low, I can live with that.
But can Veal Chop?
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of RODEKI! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team DELVERS was unseated this
week as DEALER'S CHOICE moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 2-3-0
record for the round. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster NO LIMIT
HOLD-EM Bloodfeuded VEAL CHOP last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne.
Not for nothing has NO LIMIT HOLD-EM in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's
throne, and this week it's proven its combat skill yet again. Would you believe that
over half of the old women in RODEKI seem to feel that they could fight better than
you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In RODEKI "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! RODEKI, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is COLOR ME SUAVE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent
the better part of last week avoiding COLOR ME SUAVE. Indeed it was VENETIAN CINQUE.
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. CRAZY PINEAPPLE take
warning! You have more than a few enemies in RODEKI. I can not but mention with
disdain the name of CRAZY PINEAPPLE who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a
full 10 points below in the rankings. I thought CRAZY PINEAPPLE showed great skill
and promise when it was overcame by KARMIC KUDZU. All right, so I slept through it!
Big deal!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. My hearty congratulations NO LIMIT
HOLD-EM, for thy revenge upon VEAL CHOP, slayer of thy fallen comrade. Next time he
will know better, eh? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with
fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till we meet
again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a
lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Dealer -- Welcome back to DM. It has been a long time! I recall my early days in
Primus where Dr. Lungpuncture was quite the obstacle for Vengeance. Many things have
changed, but some for the better. I suggest you check out the DM chat room. Lots of
guys online every day ready to talk DM: <A

That web address is too long to fit on a single line, and was cut to prevent it

<newsflash>
The Rodeki typist has been found strangled.
The weapon used was her typewriter ribbon.
It has been ruled a justifiable homicide.
The typewriter will not be charged.
